This smells of smacked wrists and Sony telling him to back pedal. What an excuse about the translation thing. Kojima lost some respect from me. |
Oh rubbish. I work with translators a lot and they frequently get things wrong - particularly from a language like Japanese to English it happens all the time. Plus the whole issue revolves around a well known truth that Japanese culture when speaking publically or praising anything is totally the opposite of US in particular and Western culture in general. In Japanese culture you don't brag and you make clear shortcomings. The guy obviously said that in the end his original vision went beyodn current consoles and had in the end to be adjusted to what was actually possible. This was then taken all out of context and he's trying to address the issue now. As for his comment on 'its the best' what he means is in US you say 'ours is the best' (which you wouldn't in Japan) so he's just saying maybe in future he should just give the short Western spin answer and leave it at that. |
I ran this past my Auntie who has lived in Japan for the last 15 years, and over there the feeling is that Kojma maxed the PS3 or very close to.

Glad to know that your grandmother knows all the capabilities of the ps3? What else did she say?
